"The Clockmaker" Estate
Online Only Timed Auction
Ness City Kansas

HIGHLIGHTS/AUCTIONEERS NOTES:
Ron Surface, “The Clockmaker,” was well known in the area for his custom-made clocks and plaques, several of which are included in this auction. The sale also includes tools, live edge wood slabs, clock making parts, an upright freezer, some collectibles, household items, a Traeger grill, steel welding tables, a 20-gauge and 12-gauge shotgun, camping and outdoor items, and much more! Ron also had a large collection of vintage 70s and 80s posters and prints, most of which are in near mint condition. Not to mention, there is a large collection of Garfield posters. The posters are made of thick paper or pressed cardboard and are the type that lay flat and can be framed, not the roll up type. You can routinely find most of these posters on eBay in the sold listings for $15.00 to $40.00 each! This would be a great collection and auction for resellers! Please take your time and scroll through all the lots. Everything sells AS IS. Items have not been tested unless otherwise specified. Come to the loadout prepared with what you might need, bring your own boxes and packing material, bring loadout help, tools, dolly, truck, etc. If you think you need it, please bring it. Little to no loadout help will be available.
